But the static pieces of information like address, phone number, etc. can carry over between services. Is there any reason to suspect a Frankenstein breach, where only the subscriber email list was leaked, and the other data was correlated into personas, giving the impression it all came from one source?


They would need more than an email address to make a meaningful match in this case, since we're stating the email is unique to AT&T.

That being said, I've never heard of hackers performing Master Data Management but I guess it's possible. I'd hope they'd use something other than full name for their matches...
